‭Psalm 114:3 KJV‬
[3] The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
He added "we don't talk about accomplishments in the Kingdom, we talk about engracement
‭1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV‬
[10] But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Many others are sending their best wishes and testimonies of GOD'S impact on their lives, through the sent man of the commission, Bishop Dr. David Oyedepo, describing him as a Father, Prophet, living legend and GOD'S Servant.

David Olaniyi Oyedepo was born in Osogbo, Nigeria, but a native of Omu-Aran, Irepodun Local Government Area of Kwara State.

He was raised in a mixed religious family. His father, Ibrahim, was a Muslim healer while his mother, Dorcas, was a member of the Holy Order of the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church (C&S), a branch of the Aladura movement in Nigeria.

He was raised by his grandmother in Osogbo, who introduced him to the virtues of Christian life via early morning prayers which she attended with him.

In the year 1969, (Bishop) David Oyedepo was led to Christ by a foreign missionary to Nigeria, Mrs Betty Lasher (of blessed memory)

David Oyedepo studied architecture at the Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin, and worked briefly with the Federal Ministry of Housing in Ilorin before resigning to concentrate on missionary work.

The young Oyedepo received a Ph.D. in Human Development from Honolulu University, Hawaii, US.

According to Bishop David Oyedepo, he received a mandate from GOD through an 18-hour vision in May 1981, to liberate the world from all oppressions of the devil through the preaching of the word of faith.

Bishop David O. Oyedepo received the call into the ministry through a heavenly vision, where he saw a lineup of battered, beaten, tattered, deformed, groaning for escape, he began sobbing with the. In response to his question, ‘but why Lord?’ GOD answered,
“But from the beginning it was not so, and now the hour has come to liberate the whole world from all oppression of the devil through the preaching of the world of faith and I AM sending you to undertake this task.” Today, he stands as an Apostle of Faith to the nations, the impact of whose ministry has continued to spread across many nations of the world.

September 17, 1983, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of GOD, ordained David and his wife, Florence Abiola Akano (known as Faith Abiola Oyedepo) to become pastors and officially commissioned the new church.

Five years later, David Oyedepo was ordained as Bishop.

He was first recognized in 2011 by Forbes magazine as being the richest pastor in Nigeria, later as the richest clergy in the world.

By divine leading, the Living Faith Church, under the Apostolic leadership of Bishop David Oyedepo, is presently constructing the "debt free" Ark Legacy Project, which is scheduled to be completed by November 2025, and will definitely send waves across the world upon completion. it is scheduled to be the biggest Christian worship auditorium in the world.
Today the construction of the historic 100,000-seat capacity stadium-like sanctuary, whose foundation was laid on March 25, 2021, is very much in progress, with GOD'S hand clearly evident in the areas of speed, supplies, etc.


To GOD alone be all the Glory.

I was wondering too.
Good answer

I just love this man

THIS CAN ONLY BE GOD,...

Congratulations to the man of God.

My spiritual father for Life.

Length of days in good health, in the Lord’s vineyard. 🙏

Impact choke….

This is a testament for him to realize nobody will live forever.

All the wealth , private jets, universities, mansions,cars, bodyguards he has amassed all because he suffered in d past, he's taking none beyond this life.

Even Christianity will not follow him.

He should return all he has collected from people over these years if he wants to make heaven.

Happy birthday Sir.

Happy birthday Sir.

Nothing was mentioned of his Muslim background and how he so much detests Muslims!

That he maltreats all his Muslim family till they accept Christianity before he helps them!

Yes Daddy, Ok Daddy, Thank you Daddy!

This man is a grand master, second to only Adeboye. The likes of Paul Eneche, Lazarus Muoka, Suleiman, Iginla, Jerry Eze, Abel Damina etc are still learning from this friend of politicians. Him and his friends almost succeeded in destroying the mindset of the youths.

None of them will go unpunished.

Happy birthday papa.... Your impact is truly trans generational...

Great man. I cant speak of Adeboye cos that one na APC false prophet

Crooked businessman. Peddler of false hopes and miracles.

Happy birthday Papa....

May God keep you stronger....

Congrat daddy

His shorts were torn so much that it looks like he wasn't wearing any

But he was always carrying a very big bible around

The technical school later became Kwara poly

Hbd to u sir

Ok

If you visit Canaan Land and see what this man did, you weep for Nigeria's government. This country will never forget David Oyedepo. Happy birthday to him!
